E-Mail #18 Musicals & Murder
Why hello there!
Welcome to another bursting update on E-Mail, the weekly newsletter where I share all my favourite internet things.
I am still banned from Twitter! So that's fun.
This week I've had a big love re-surgance for Starkid (the musical theatre parody company) to that may reflect in my choices this week!
I also felt like doing some double entries this week, so I hope you, dear reader, find something you like from my selection today! Some of the content is quite niche, so I hope you...enjoy
The first of my song crushes this week is 'The Way I Do' from Starship, one of Starkid's earlier musicals about a bug who has the dream to be a Starship ranger! This song was just knocking around my head all week and I had to feature it. Sure, the vocals aren't perfect, but there's just so much heart in this song that it's okay!
The second song is also vaguely Starkid related! A collection of the company formed their own band called Jim and The Povolo's, which is actually the name of their friend, Jim Povolo. This song is from their second album and just has such a good feel to it! Meredith Stepien heads the vocals and it really encapsulates the bands sound!
Wow there is a lot of YT content in this E-Mail! This video was one I didn't expect to really enjoy? If you didn't know, dodie is an up and coming pop musician and she's having a bit of a viral explosion at the moment. This video is of her prepping the night before a VEVO video and its just so...funny. Her and her flatmates mess around with this fake music video and it's just so wholesome and dodie.

Good News
Keane, one of my all time favourite bands, is going to be performing with NEW MUSIC sometime this year! A life dream of mine is to see them live, so it looks like that dream will come true soon enough!

Wow there is a lot of YT content in this E-Mail! This video was one I didn't expect to really enjoy? If you didn't know, dodie is an up and coming pop musician and she's having a bit of a viral explosion at the moment. This video is of her prepping the night before a VEVO video and its just so...funny. Her and her flatmates mess around with this fake music video and it's just so wholesome and dodie.
And she returns with even more niche content! This is a fabuuuulous animatic from Jesse Zhang of a MBMBAM goof. There is a whole sub genre for podcast animatics and boy am I grateful for said sub genre. It's nice to watch if a) you like funny b) you like animation c) you don't mind killing a minute of your day. Watch if you want to see some animated water drinking.
...It's another Starkid related article... It's Darren Criss! And he's now a serial killer! No, he's not, he's just playing one. In The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story which I've been watching this week. I don't normally watch drama or really intense content like this (I'm more of a comedy person) and this has had me sucked right in. It covers the serial killings by Andrew Cunanan and has won a sack full of awards recently, and rightfully so. Darren is phenomenal in this, and it's so wonderful to see him stretching his acting...wings? I've been recommending this to everyone, and you're included.
So this week, I was inspired by Millie to try some Monster Munch flavours I've been sleeping on. Monster Munch is a puffed corn snack with really intense flavours. Backstory is that I have been brought up on Pickled Onion since childhood... AND IT REMAINS SUPREME. I tried Roast Beef and Flamin' Hot. Roast Beef didn't really hit any spot for me so I give it a 2/5. Flamin' hot was better, but still not optimal for me so I give it a 3/5. Pickled onion is 100/10. No arguments.
That's it this week gang!
I hope I get Twitter back soon, I miss sharing my favourite tweets and It's a bit weird to be outside of the news bubbles.
Have a good week!
